What do you think the role of government should be? Does the government have a role to play in regulating what companies can put in their products (e. g. lead in paint and gasoline, pesticides in food, known carcinogens in headphones etc.)? Is the government overreaching its legitimate mandate when it monitors the websites you visit or collects metadata on the phone calls you make? Would climate change be easier to confront with a strong federal government or if individual states had more power? Explain.

- "the past is made of multitudinous items ranging from anything that can be collected, recollected or assessed to originate in the past. as such, the past is a gallimaufry of particulars that may not have been related in any way. however, the human mind seeks organization to understand concepts and other things. the human mind therefore seeks relationships in explaining and studying the past. history being a humanity, dictates that historians have to serve this human trait by bringing structure to details of the past. historians do this by creating interpretive frameworks that capture as many details as possible."
